Eastern Pulaski School Corporation Awarded Grant

The Eastern Pulaski School Corporation has been awarded a grant from the Wabash Heartland Innovation Network (WHIN).

Superintendent Dara Chezem told WKVI News the corporation applied for the grant to be able to purchase smart boards for the corporation’s classrooms. She said smart boards are used to transform teacher instruction and student learning, giving more interaction and collaborative work with digital content.

Chezem stated $99,600 will be awarded from WHIN and will go toward purchasing the smart boards. She added the board approved the grant from WHIN during their meeting Monday.

The Wabash Heartland Innovation Network is focused upon serving 10 Indiana counties: Pulaski, White, Cass, Benton, Carroll, Tippecanoe, Warren, Fountain, Montgomery, and Clinton. By promoting smart technology throughout these 10 counties, WHIN is aiming to become the first recognized smart region in the nation.
